Details

Occidental Gypsy has an original approach to gypsy jazz that pays homage to Django and expands the genre to include elements of western (Occidental) sounds, including blues, Klezmer and Latin. The east-coast quintet features Eli Bishop on violin. Bishop performs regularly at Lincoln Center, and enthralls audiences as the current Guinness Book of World Records fastest clapper.

For over a dozen years, Occidental Gypsy has been pioneering this exhilarating blend of gypsy swing, jazz and world music that enraptures the listener with a complex acoustic sound, burnished by smooth vocals reminiscent of the first era of swing. Their energetic shows make audiences move their feet and have garnered them the title “rock stars with acoustic guitars.”
